Sionas all-new bar is off to a cool start
Siona,the less than four month old speciality restaurant in Sector 35,is all set to raise a toast to its new bar. Housed on the ground floor,the bar boasts elegant wooden interiors,similar to that of the restaurant tucked in the basement. Occupying centre stage is a high island bar with interesting horse saddles as bar stools,the only example perhaps of Brit-inspired furniture in the city.
The rather no-fuss drinks menu brings in regular cocktail favourites such as the vodka-based Caprioska (Rs 150). If you are looking to get back at the heat,settle for either a Jamaica Cooler (Rs 150) or Beer Buster (Rs 150). While the former is an unusual mix of red wine,white rum,lemon and orange juice,the latter is a chilling combination of vodka with beer and a dash of grenadine.
Having decided to try the Mocktails,we settle for Passion (Rs 100) which is a cool mix of mango,orange and pineapple juice with a liberal addition of mint leaves. Its a tad sweet but very refreshing.
One can also team the drinks with Sionas special snacks that offer a spread of Mughlai and Lucknowi dishes. We ordered Gulafee Surkh Paneer Tikka (Rs 210) and Mutton Galawati Kebab (320). Both proved to be a melt-in-the-mouth experience. While the paneer marinated in Indian spices,rose petals,cream and curd was succulent,the mutton was tender and delicious. One could also choose from a range of kakori kebabs and tikkas using mutton,chicken and fish.
Meal for Two: Rs 400-500 (excluding taxes) Location: SCO 477-478,Sector 35 C,Chandigarh.
